Raising Dough – previously My Sisters Kitchen

My Sisters’ Kitchen is a stand-alone social enterprise, commercially trading, community kitchen, bakery and training facility. Our mid to long term plans include our social enterprise being further developed into a larger Community Food Project including Cafe/Deli using ingredients from Fareshare and other food waste schemes.

The mission of My Sisters’ Kitchen is to provide training, employment and sense of belonging to some of the most disadvantaged women in Sunderland. We work alongside women who live with ˜multiple disadvantage™, women experiencing domestic abuse are more than likely experiencing other forms of social and economic disadvantage such as poverty, unemployment, crime, poor mental health, and those leaving care. We work with these women for as long as they need our support, offering a safe space as they overcome barriers from lack of opportunity and social exclusion, preparation for employment, and guidance in building towards a positive future.
